Analysis

Overview

The goal of this revision is to include Frequently Asked Question Sections in each forum and forum rules.

Task requirements

Each of the existing forums should contain FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) topic. This topic should be locked, no discussions should be allowed on that topic. Create a suggestions forum. This should contain Feature requests, SCS suggestions, etc. See Implementation Idea for more information.

Task result

Topics in Forum and/or Wiki pages. Discuss and decide in Design and Implementation sections.

Implementation idea

  • Suggestion 1 : Create a wiki page called FAQ containing frequently asked questions. Decide some questions as important and explain them. Link the FAQ wiki page in each forum.
  • Suggestion 2 : In each forum create a FAQ topic containing frequently asked questions. Decide important questions and list them with answers.
  • Create a topic named Forum Rules and include rules prototype.
  • FAQ may contain How to install, how to contribute, what is Sophie2, etc.

Design

Forum rules:

 * Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28internet%29
 * Off-topic messages are not allowed.
 * Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated.
 * Members are asked to respect the copyright of other users, sites, media, etc. Users linking to or asking for information on warez, crackz, etc. or re-printing material without permission will receive a warning and their post will be removed.
 * Members should respect the bandwidth of other users and sites. The use of inline ([IMG][/IMG]) image tags pointing to data stored on third party systems for which the user has not received permission to link to may be removed.
 * Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts. Users consistently abusing this will be warned.
 * Members should use an appropriate, descriptive title when posting a new topic. Examples of bad titles include; "Help me!", "I'm stuck!", "I've got an error!", etc. Examples of good titles include; "Cannot connect to S2S", "Cannot run Sophie2 on Linux", etc.
 * Moderators are allowed to edit/remove messages without a warning. They should point which rule has been violated.

Impediment - User accounts in trac are currently unusable. You cannot create a user account and use it.

  • Create a wiki page FAQ or ForumFAQ?
  • Create a forum Suggestions

Implementation

  • Created a suggestion forum for suggestions and feature requests.
  • Created topics "Frequently Asked Questions" and "Forum Rules" in each forum
  • Created page ForumRules that is included in "Forum Rules" of each forum.
  • Created page FAQ that is included in "Frequently Asked Questions" of each forum.

In later revisions these sections should be expanded - otherwise revision will take more time than it's timebox.
